Arunachal CM hails Modi as friend & saviour of North East

Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "friend and saviour" of North East, especially of Arunachal Pradesh.

"Just think of this ... in about 26 years since Arunachal Pradesh became a state, less than 50 visits were made to the state by Union ministers. After Modi became the Prime Minister in 2014, which is about four and half years, number of visits by Union ministers stand at about 130-plus," Khandu said.

He also expressed confidence that Arunachal Pradesh will continue to receive such attention even after 2019 as Modi would return as the Prime Minister
